I woke to the sound of rain on the metal roof. It was a loud patter. Hmm, I was hoping for slight sprinkles. In my younger years, I would ride anyway, and spend just as much time cleaning the bike as I did riding. Now, I'm lazy. Perhaps it's kinder to say I'm more focused. I would rather not spend as much time cleaning the bike.

Instead we spent the day with Jan checking out recumbents. Her hand and wrist issues are bad enough that my suggestion of a comfortable recumbent seemed like a good idea. 

Jan and Kurt have invited us to their house for a non traditional Christmas dinner. Jan needed Mexican crema for the recipe. Right next to the pawn shop where we had checked out a recumbent for sale, was a Mexican grocery. Jacinto was happy to buy tamales, a traditional Mexican Christmas food.

Next we met Jacinto's nephew and family for dinner as they drove through Tucson.

It's a good thing we didn't ride today! We wouldn't have found time for all of these activities! There was no sitting around being pleasantly bored, as is typical on a day off. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be overcast and cool. I'm hoping for a good ride. I might have to wear tights.
